Refunds for tickets bought to witness Michael Schumacher's aborted Formula
One return at Valencia will not be refunded, according to Auto Motor und
Sport.

News of the seven time world champion's comeback triggered a spike in
flagging sales for the Spanish street race, even though 30,000 of the
available 75,000 Sunday tickets are still on the market.

Carlos Gracia, head of the Spanish motor racing federation, was present at
Renault's race ban appeal hearing in Paris on Monday, but he denied the
Court of Appeal ruled in the team's favour in order to prevent a disaster
for the Valencia event.

If the ban had stood, not only would Schumacher not have been in action,
but also absent would have been the local favourite Fernando Alonso.

"One has nothing to do with the other," Gracia told the Spanish newspaper
AS. "The Court of Appeal did its work with absolute independence and total
autonomy."
